Race Wining BMW E30 For Sale – ChumpCar (Champcar), Lemons, Lucky Dog

**WolfKatz** · 03-02-2019, 02:03 AM

We are selling our 1991 BMW 318 IS Lemons / Champcar racecar. It is turnkey, current, fast, reliable, and a lot of fun to drive. It does not looks the best, but it is mechanically very sound, one of the best handling cars out there, and extremely light. The car has won many races, and nearly always finishes. I would be happy to talk to anyone interested. If you want to race NOW, this is your car. Even has new tires.
Cars Specs:
- 1991 E30 chassis with fully functional ABS (very important). Car is fully gutted. I mean fully.
- Kirk Racing Weld in cage with optional nascar style door bars.
- Full Fire system and second fire extinguisher
- Removable Sparco steering wheel
- Center and window nets, power kill
- Recaro large size seat on Cobra sliders with UUC seat mounts.
- Current G-Force 5 point cam lock harness
- Full radio wiring kit (no radios included)
- Engine - M42 1.8 liter motor
- Rebuilt a few races back, runs excellent (all the normal stuff, new water pump)
- Metric Mechanic 360 thrust bearing (the failure point on these engines)
- Metric Mechanic street intake cam
- WAR Chip with custom tune
- 137 whp
- Tranny - ZF 5 speed with custom shift linkage. Tranny had 50k miles on it when installed, shifts perfectly. This tranny is way stronger than needed for this car
- Diff – Medium case with 4:10. Triple clutch disk Limited Slip
- Clutch – Customer 6 puck (solid hub), lightweight flywheel
- Suspension, Front
- Homemade front coilovers using custom valved Bilstein shocks (just rebuilt)

- 4 Hankook RS4’s nearly new (3 stickers, one with a few miles on it)
- 4 Used RS4’s – Still have good life in them
- 4 BFG's for practice
- Front wheel spacers (can run without them)
- Brakes
- New front rotors
- Calipers have been rebuilt with brass sliders
- New set of endurance pads (performance friction fronts, R4E rears)
- Master has been replaced. Fresh fluid last month (ATE)
- Laguna legal exhaust. Light, quiet enough. Simple
- Dual fuel Pumps, Holley Hydramat on drivers side. Larger 16 gallon tank installed
- Weighs just over 2000 lbs dry

Needs
- Front bumper needs to be put back on and one new mount sourced
- Hydramat we think fell off at the last race, needs to go back on
- Optional – Spend some time pulling dents / straightening the body / making it look nicer. The car still aligns fine, we never worried about the right side dents. It mostly all occurred in a Lemons race years ago when a “hot rod Lincoln” with failed brakes plowed in to the car. May race wins since.

Spares:
- Spare Getrag tranny
- 3.64 LSD diff
- New halfshaft
- Block
- Radiator
- Brake stuff
- Tons of other “bits”

Price $3000 or best offer. We want it to go to someone who wants to learn to race. This car is awesome for that. Parting it out would be a big bummer, but it is worth more in parts for sure!
